Resumen del Editor

The New York Times best-selling author of 13 Hours and Lost in Shangri-La delivers his most compelling and vital work yet - a spellbinding, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting narrative, years in the making, that weaves together myriad stories to create the definitive portrait of 9/11.

In the days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack, then-Boston Globe journalist Mitchell Zuckoff led a team that reported and wrote the lead news stories and a series of pieces about 9/11 victims and their families. It was the beginning of an obsession with that momentous day and a commitment to tell its complete true story.

Fall and Rise is a 9/11 work like no other. Based on years of meticulous reporting, it gives voice as never before to both the lost and the saved. Zuckoff masterfully braids the stories of what happened in New York, Washington, DC, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, into a mesmerizing account that details the minute-by-minute experiences of those whose lives were forever altered by that day.

Zuckoff puts us in the center of events with numerous men and women caught up in the terrible attacks - beside a young, out-of-work actor stuck in an elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center; among the heroes aboard United Airlines Flight 93; inside the badly damaged Pentagon with a veteran trapped in the inferno; accompanying the first firefighters on the scene in rural Shanksville; in the company of workers at offices in the World Trade Center; among a team of New York firefighters racing against time to save an injured woman and themselves; and alongside families flying to see loved ones across the country who suddenly face terrorists bent on murder.

Fall and Rise opens new avenues of understanding for anyone who thinks they know the story of that tragic day and illuminates as never before the extraordinary ordinary people from all walks of life caught up in tragic circumstances they could neither understand nor control.

Destined to become a classic, Fall and Rise is a tribute to the dead and the living and a testament to the power of the human spirit to triumph even in the darkest hour.

Great Book

No other way to describe this except to say it's a great book. The research, writing and narration all rise to the top. I have read, watched and listened to a lot about 9/11 and there is so much in this book that is new. And it's presented so well. Buy this book.

#NEVERFORGET

There are no words that adequately describe this book. I am listening to it for the second time with tear-filled eyes remembering the day we MUST never forget. It is by far the best, most comprehensive, and objective look at 9/11. There is a lot of detail and at times it is hard to listen too but it is well worth the emotional journey.

Couldn’t stop listening

This is such a great listen…at times, it was really graphic, and difficult and so sad-such in depth stories about the people who lived-and died through this day. A must for anyone wanting to learn more about 9/11.

An amazing historical work

I listened to this book in the weeks after first visiting the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. It adds so much context to history, making it relatable for future generations. I hope that many will read it, witness the outstanding bravery and sacrifice and learn from the mistakes made that enabled such tragedy. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana

I was 23 on 9/11/01. It changed my life forever. I thought I’ve heard and read everything. This book was fantastic. The narrator was amazing. Highly recommend to any 9/11 historian

Heart wrenching

Be prepared to shed tears. The stories are very personal and very heart touching.

Must read/listen

This was an amazingly researched and written account of the entire day of 9/1/2001. I experienced all the feels… empathy, agony, shock… tears of sadness at the destruction and death…and tears of joy in the moments of community and heroism.

As others have said, this should be required reading for every American.

Well done Mr. Zuckoff.

Life Changing

If you think that you can stop listening to a story you think you knew..I challenge you to stop listening to this amazing writer. You will have a new perspective on life forever. You must get this book to appreciate the life we have now. Bravo and thank you Mitchell Zuckoff.
